How the Musical Journey Is Thriving in Online Lessons

The Musical Journey is not just a system of goals and milestones that students accomplish, but a way for students to find internal motivation with creative projects that they choose. 

With lessons online, we knew students needed a way to stay motivated with Musical Journey projects they could do at home. Orpheus teachers worked with their students and other faculty to envision new ways for students to share their music online. Many students have performed home concerts via Zoom or YouTube live, other students have created YouTube albums. The online format has opened up new possibilities we never would have imagined before.

Celebrating these accomplishments is just as important. The admin staff and teachers have worked together to make students feel special even though we can't meet in person. This summer we hand-delivered over 25 trophies, and mailed over 90 milestone bracelets.​

Britten W. Earns His First Trophy

He is passed his Musical Journey level 1 and got his first trophy ever.
​

He was ecstatic, we are so lucky to have this music school in our lives. We are so proud of our boy!

PS, they hand-delivered this last night and his teacher did a presentation to him at his online lesson today. These people really go above and beyond and it makes all the difference."

— Rachel K., Mother of Britten W.
Despite being online, the Musical Journey continues to spark growth, creativity, and independence in our students.

Milestones are mailed with a special note, and trophies are hand-delivered to the student's home.
